Close by, the grand Victorian Husainabad Clock Tower was built as a victory column in 1881.
Historically, Lucknow was the capital of the Awadh region, controlled by the Delhi Sultanate and later the Mughal Empire.
It was transferred to the Nawabs of Awadh. In 1856, the British East India Company abolished local rule and took
complete control of the city along with the rest of Awadh and, in 1857, transferred it to the British Raj.
Along with the rest of India, Lucknow became independent from Britain on 15 August 1947. It has been listed as the 17th
